Ideas. It sounds cooky – but if I’ve had a sudden spark of mental inspiration – you have no idea how much it energises me. What’s annoying is if I’m having a fantastic week and get a good idea for 3 nights in a row. I literally don’t sleep for those 3 nights in a row.

If you could banish one thing from your life – for the rest of your life – what would it be?

Weight gain. And my business competitors.

What’s been your most valuable ‘life’ lesson?

“It takes 10 to 15 years to create an overnight success.”

What do you admire most?

Hard work, determination. Achieving greatness from nothing.

When were you happiest?

I’m becoming happier and happier each passing moment.

If you could give your younger self some advice what would it be?

Be more selective in which girls you ask out! (I had rubbish taste during my earlier and teenage years).

If you had to stay in one place for the rest of your life, where would it be?

Home.

What animal best reflects your personality?

A horse. Possibly partially due to the fact that my Chinese zodiac is the horse.

What is more important in life than winning?

Family.

What would you spend your last dollar on?

If by last dollar you mean the last dollar I have before I go broke (rather than my last ever expenditure in life), I’d use it to make an investment of sorts.

What is your greatest weakness?

Inability to say no when friends are in need. And my unrelenting unwillingness to be torn away from work.

If I’m tired enough, nothing. I can go to bed angry, sad, sick, whatever – if I’m tired, I fall flat like nothing happened and wake up in a completely different state of mind.

If you could banish one thing from your life – for the rest of your life – what would it be?

Hypocritical people. Specially the kind that predents to do things “for the good of the community” but who in really only care about the interest of a single group or party (I have to put up with these people a lot at my university)

What’s been your most valuable ‘life’ lesson?

Always be open minded about the people around you. You never know, the best friend you will ever have in your life, or your wife / husband might be that random friend of a friend of yours!

What do you admire most?

Friendship. There is nothing more valuable in life than people who always believe in you, who are always there for a good laugh and a much needed reprimand.

Eh, I don’t know. Probably when I started dating my girlfriend some three years ago.

If you could give your younger self some advice what would it be?

Stop caring about people who doesn’t care about you at all.

If you had to stay in one place for the rest of your life, where would it be?

Anywhere where the temperatures never go above 25°C :P On a more serious note, I’ve never really thought about that. I’ve never left my home country, and to make that decision, you have to know the place very well! But very strong candidates would be Japan, Norway, Sweden and Germany

What animal best reflects your personality?

A sloth :P

What is more important in life than winning?

Being true to your principles.

What would you spend your last dollar on?

I have no idea. If we’re talking about the last dollar before I die, why should I even care about buying things?

What is your greatest weakness?

Procastination.

How does it feel to be considered a hero?

Creepy actually.

What scares you?

Loneliness I guess. Thank God I never had to go through it, but I can’t even imagine how I’m going to react when I lose someone precious (and the scary part is that it is completely unavoidable, unless I die really young, something I really don’t wish for :P)

What event can’t you forget but wish you could?

Nothing. Every event is valuable – every little thing that happens in your life is what shapes who you are.
